Library of Ideas exhibition

Over the next year, Neighbourhood Creatives are looking to make the ME-WE-HERE Art Trail – a collection of artworks made with people living and working around Ward End Park.

Together, with our three artists, Nilupa Yasmin, Rochi Rampal and Maral Mamaghanizadeh, local partners and residents, we’ve begun to put together a Library of Ideas for what this trail might be. This is inspired by what has been said, what we have seen, and what has been made with the community so far.

We’re inviting you to come along to the Lakeside Café at the Dolphin Women’s Centre during the festival week to visit the Library of Ideas exhibition and learn more about the trail, its route and how you can be part of bringing it to life! Across the week there will be opportunities to meet our artists and take part in a range of drop-in creative activities inspired by the ideas.

Please note there is no requirement to book a ticket for the exhibition - just turn up and join in!
